How to Make Apple Spice High Rise Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites, 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt, and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
